I use Visual Studio 2019 and I am missing a feature I can't find in the settings. In Visual Studio Code, once I open a project that is under git control, I see an author and commit info of the line the text cursor is currently located in. If I open the same project in Visual Studio 2019 this functionality does not appear.
I am looking for the info between line 8-9:
Is there any option to active that feature from VS Code in VS 2019 as well? Any help is highly appreciated!

To show this option you can press (Alt + 5) key, by opening the changes window you can see the detail of changes with change set ID, Change set Description, Author Name and Date of Changes.
Change your display info through Team Explorer > Settings > Repository Settings . EDIT: Just noticed you're talking about existing commits, take a look at Change commit author at one specific commit. Addition: If you want to set user.name for a repo you probably want to set user. email as well.
Steps to add git credentials in vs code Step 1: Download git from the official website https://git-scm.com and install it. Step 2: When you're finished installing Git, start Visual Studio Code and verify that Git is now identified. Step 3: Start a new Terminal and configure your 'user.name' and 'user.
Adding the GIT menu in VS 2019 Community Edition We will open Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition and select “Extensions-> Manage Extensions” from the top menu. Then, select “Online-> Visual Studio Marketplace” and search for “GIT”.
If you want source control history at the method level, enable CodeLens. Note that the 2019 community version of Visual Studio does not include this feature.
If you want source control history at the per-line level, in your text editor, right click > Source Control > Blame (Annotate):
Author and commit (git blame) info will be displayed for each line:
For quicker access, add a shortcut for the command "Team.Git.Annotate".

In Visual Studio Professional 2019 using GIT as source control you should be able to right click in the file and select Git > Blame(Annotated) to view line annotations with author, date and a unique commit identifier.
Clicking the commit id will bring up the change set so you can review all of the changes associated with the line(s) in question as well as any comments for the commit.
It threw me off because a person might think to right click in the file and select Annotation > Show Line Annotations which did not seem to work for me.

I was recently checking out other Source Control options (Perforce and Plastic SCM), and then noticed I too had lost my Git ▸ Blame option in VS. Turned out the Plug-in Selection was no longer set to Git, so make sure it is on inside of Tools ▸ Options.
